10:30 pm
iyou you have party things settled if you have party plans. could be some mist and fog around and if your on the move first thing on new year's day, wednesday, fog could be an issue. but otherwise it is dry and temperatures upper single figures for many parts of british isles. the high pressure will dominate in the middle of week and fits into that dome in the jet stream. there is another one lurking behind me. was in between there is something different. you get that sort of nick in the jet stream and into that a front will dominate the seenin into that a front will dominate the seen in northern and western parts through thursday. but look at this again, a mild run of south—westerlies ahead of that feature. so again for the time of year the temperatures are well above the seasonal norm. once we take what is left of that trailing front through the british isles, there comes that dome again of high pressure and so it is a rinse and repeat of where we were in the
10:31 pm
middle of week, this time next weekend the high pressure will still be doing its stuff. so a show change, mostly mild conditions and little sign of wintry weather. just one or two fronts with that wetter and windier spell. hello. this is bbc news. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow mornings papers in a moment —
10:32 pm
first the headlines. the cabinet office apologises, after the home addresses of more than a thousand recipients of new years honours were accidentally published online. a woman whose husband and two children drowned, on christmas eve, in a swimming pool in spain, says all three could swim — and blames a fault with the pool. more than 70 people are believed to have been killed in a car bomb attack in somalia — many of the dead were students. campaigners call for a radical overhaul of britain's railways — including majorfare reforms and an end to "nightmare journeys". hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are the broadcaster lynn faulds wood and senior reporter at the sunday times, rosamund urwin.
10:33 pm
many of tomorrow's front pages are already in. tomorrow's sunday mirror has the news that speedboat killerjack shepherd is planning his wedding from prison — despite not yet being divorced from his first wife. the sunday people leads on the story of a mother who says her ba by‘s organs were kept by the police. the mail on sunday has the claim that ministers bent rules on visas for foreign polo players after buckingham palace apparently took an interest in the issue. the sunday telegraph leads on plans to make police disclose when they are using artificial intelligence to fight crime — including the use of software to recognise faces. the sunday times says lives have been put at risk after the home addresses of more than a thousand celebrities, politicians and military figures on the new year honours list were published online.
10:34 pm
and the sunday express forecasts a rocky time ahead for the eu when trade talks begin with britain. we do have to have a bit of brexit but i don't think we will go into that territory today, in fact we are going to start with the sunday times, your newspaper and a story we have been leading with all evening, lives at risk is the quote, after honours list fiasco. remind us what this is about. this is a big embarrassment for the cabinet office, they have the fanfare of these people being honoured including eltonjohn these people being honoured including elton john and these people being honoured including eltonjohn and olivia newtonjohn, including eltonjohn and olivia newton john, and also including eltonjohn and olivia newtonjohn, and also politicians, police officers, but the only problem was, somehow the cabinet office managed to release their addresses, and it was only up online temporarily before the problem was spotted but this has had the result
10:35 pm
that all these addresses are in the public domain. for some people who guard their privacy very carefully thatis guard their privacy very carefully that is a threat, obviously, and very unpleasant, but the odd thing about this, in my paper spoke to the head of the civil service, they have a practice that is used every year for putting these names out and it has been a well established procedure and yet somehow it has gone wrong this time and it seems very strange. he says understandably they may be need an inquiry into how this has gone wrong. an embarrassment and the information commissioner is now involved. more thanjust commissioner is now involved. more than just embarrassing because commissioner is now involved. more thanjust embarrassing because we have got a thousand plus names on this, did they have their addresses connected to all of them? were they home addresses, work addresses? a lot of them were home addresses.
10:36 pm
some of them have turned down honours in the past. i could have been on the list. —— i have turned down honours in the past. the thought of people having their home address put out there, i think this isa address put out there, i think this is a potentially serious breach of security, because how do you then keep these people safe when their homes are known? it is terrible. new year honours blunder is the story in the daily telegraph, the sunday telegraph, and there is some confusion about how long this document was available for comment this says about 90 minutes, but it is not known how many times it was downloaded —— was available for, this is about 90 minutes. yes, there is some confusion about how long, and some addresses were redacted, so there was not every single one, but
10:37 pm
it was almost every single one, and the other thing, the government is likely to be fined over this because we have gdp are rules and the information commissioner's office is going to have a look at this and we know companies have been fined for this kind of breach where information is shared and i would be surprised if they do not get a reasonably hefty fine. the maximum is 17 million which... they are finding us, essentially. it is crazy. —— finding us, essentially. it is crazy. — — finding. finding us, essentially. it is crazy. —— finding. are you to do programmes like watchdog when everything was fact checked and you we re everything was fact checked and you were dealing with lawyers all the time, very carefully handled, how on earth this has happened is beyond me. you mentioned you had turned down honours in the past, your reason? i have many reasons but among others i just reason? i have many reasons but among others ijust don't think reason? i have many reasons but among others i just don't think we have an empire and this is the 21st century and we have to change that
10:38 pm
word. there is a number of people who are black who have turned down the honours because they come from a background where there has been slavery in their family, and background where there has been slavery in theirfamily, and one of my main reasons is i do think people who give huge amounts of wonga to a party, especially the conservatives at the moment, and the amounts of wonga are enormous, are then getting some form of sociable or baroness. it is very mucky and we need to sort it out and bring us into the 21st century where you have honours for excellence and not for the empire, where you have honours given particularly to women at a high level because the year i turned it down i think there was something like nine times as many getting
10:39 pm
knighthoods than wives becoming —— then women becoming a dame, and i don't like that title but italy, although i have very nice friends who have got it and merited it, like esther rantzen. who have got it and merited it, like esther ra ntzen. if who have got it and merited it, like esther rantzen. if i had got it, my husband would have been playing a mr john stapleton, and so i think there are many things which are run with it. one of the worst is money being involved in it and that should not be the case. the discussion goes on and on. this year the story is a different one because of the data breach. let's go with the sunday telegraph's of the main story. please using artificial intelligence tech with troubling secrecy, what is this about? —— police. tech with troubling secrecy, what is this about? -- police. i am a bit conflicted because it would be terribly worrying if they were open,
10:40 pm
and the other problem, i'm neighbourhood watch for my area twickenham and i know there is a bit of facial recognition going on. they don't have many cameras but a lot of the properties in the area to have cameras, and facial recognition is one of the things they are hoping to develop in the future and i cannot say that i think in certain cases thatis say that i think in certain cases that is not a bad idea, but basically they are saying here that they want to use more artificial intelligence to fight crime but how do you safeguard civil liberties at the same time? there is a man called lord evans, a former head of mi5, who is overseeing the review of the use of artificial intelligence, the problem is, everything is moving so quickly, they are talking about may be using drones to go over crime scenes. drones will be used, at the
10:41 pm
moment they fly stuff into prisons, but they will be used increasingly to pick stuff up and drop it off, and there is talk of the likes of amazon and other deliveries are available... using drones as well. whatever he is now looking at this week, in another three whatever he is now looking at this week, in anotherthree months whatever he is now looking at this week, in another three months they will be another clever idea out there so i don't know how you keep this secret yet use it, and for goodness' sake don't do a review, folks, because i have done one of those and it went into a deep dark hole. one of the problems he is flagging is that we know there are inherent biases buried into automatic systems but essentially they often discover their technology is sexist and racist in those other things are being automated, built in human biases and repeated them, but they make decisions which are prejudiced, and that is one element he will have to look at because if the police start doing that and we
10:42 pm
already have accusations obviously that ethnic minorities are targeted by the police. stop and search has been a massive issue. but what about when it is artificial intelligence doing that? we have got to address it. perhaps we could start with a woman doing that checked rather than sirmark woman doing that checked rather than sir mark search will? —— a surge well. 0r sir mark search will? —— a surge well. or was that lord evans? rosamund, let's go back to the sunday times, your paper, is to redound the bottom, but the labour leadership campaign and who could be the front runner —— a story down the bottom. rebecca long-bailey's profile is not high enough, the theory goes, she has been deemed the hair apparent to jeremy corbyn, theory goes, she has been deemed the hair apparent tojeremy corbyn, the preferred candidate. john mcdonnell has rather backed away from this now, though. the hard left of labour is asking who else could we possibly
10:43 pm
put forward? some people were hoping for angela rayner but she is more of a moderate in many of her views, and does occasionally say things which are quite pro the policies of tony blair. however, the end avery may throw his hat in the ring and he is a former miner and is pro brexit, but he is waiting to see —— the end avery. that would clearly split the ha rd left if avery. that would clearly split the hard left if that did happen, and there are many candidates who are looking like they may well run like emily thornbury —— the end avery. there is a brutal line that emily thornbury has been sending texts to collea g u es thornbury has been sending texts to colleagues over christmas and they we re colleagues over christmas and they were taking her because out of politeness, so many of them might go behind keir starmer. ian lavery
10:44 pm
seems to have an unfortunate way of saying things, he said something about grabbing female activists, when will these men learn that these things are not acceptable? i remember being chased around an office by an mp, when i was a journalist, and i was thinking, you are a maniac! they cannot do anything like this now. let'sjust finally get to the bottom, if we can, of the headline here on the times, ministers bent polo team visa rules for the queen. i am looking to my learned friend here... it takes a long while to get to what has been going on. there are specific visa rules regarding polo and the queen isa rules regarding polo and the queen is a big fan of polo and the theory
10:45 pm
is, and buckingham palace will not be filled about this, because the queen does not interfere politically as much as possible, but the theory is the queen relaxed what was intended to be a clamp—down on these visas because the affair was they we re visas because the affair was they were being misused, so essentially people were pretending they were going to work as polo grooms or playing polo and actually ended up working on farms and you get temporary visas for the polo season. the theory was the clamp—down, this is when amber rudd was home secretary, the theory is that the clamp—down was very unpopular with the queen because she wants her sport to continue, one of her sport, to continue and thrive, and buckingham palace does not agree with this turn of events as portrayed here, i would suspect. with this turn of events as portrayed here, i would suspectm is only 500 people involved each year and is only 500 people involved each yearandl is only 500 people involved each yearand i think is only 500 people involved each year and i think is this really a national newspaper story? i'm not
10:46 pm
going to ask you what i think. national newspaper story? i'm not going to ask you what i thinkm national newspaper story? i'm not going to ask you what i think. it is not our story! in previous years i have worked with the mail on sunday, but why are they having a dig at the queen? she is having a bad enough time. sympathy for the queen is where we and the look at the papers for now. —— and our look at the papers. lynn and rosamund will be back at 2330 for another look at the papers. next on bbc news — entertainement correspondent colin paterson goes behind the scenes of the gavin & stacey christmas special. first positions, please! come and i'll show you the big, glamorous sets. he's rehearsing. here we go, rehearsal. stacey, would you kindly inform everyone that dinner is going to be ever so slightly delayed ?
10:47 pm
this is bbc breakfast, this is christine gernon, who has directed every second you have ever seen of gavin and stacey. she is the secret sauce, there's no denying it. say hello to bbc breakfast. hi, bbc breakfast. the house up here is our sort of green room and look who you find in any of these houses. it's ruthjones and joanna page relaxing between scenes. i feel like i've just walked into the show, this is very peculiar. it is quite funny, we are sort of like our characters, just gossiping. what are you reading? mind your own business. who broke the news to you it was going to happen again? james corden sent me a text saying, "can i have a chat? nothing bad." i thought, never in a million years
10:48 pm
did i think it would be this. because i've always assumed that it would never happen. it was quite a lot of pressure and i think all of us were quite anxious or nervous coming into it. i've never been more nervous. why? because people love the show and i read the script and the script is fantastic, but you just never know. when i read nessa saying, "what's occurring?" it made me start crying, it made me cry. i was sitting in my car after doing a read—through on something else and i wasjust thinking, i want to read the script! ijust love it, that i'm back with my best friend and we're doing those scenes again and i just love looking over to ruth and she's got her wig on and it just feels so lovely. calm down, bryn. what made you decide to do it again? it was more a sense of,
10:49 pm
ruth and i thought, why don't we just explode it, see if there's anything there, if there's a story there? we would always exchange texts or e—mails about the characters — where are they now, what are they doing now? we'd send each other little things like, "i heard someone say this in a supermarket and thought it would be something pam would say." what's occurring? ooh, welsh person! you do feel like they are carrying on their lives after we left them on the seafront ten years ago. we didn't tell anybody, we just did what we did the first time around, which was sit in a room and talk about it and see what we had. we got together in la, which sounds terribly glamorous. were you in the guest wing of his house? all we needed was two chairs and a table and we managed to do it. james put it on his twitter account and people went berserk.
10:50 pm
are you asking me to step in? what? are you asking me to... # step into christmas! did you go back to the original series to help you get back into being gavin? there's no way i'm watching myself ten years ago, absolutely no way. i'm already self—conscious enough. oh, no! i think you need to come forward to allow that. it's constantly on and i love when i'm flicking the channels and you see a bit and you can't stop watching. there's a new generation of people now, of children watching it that weren't even born when it was first on and those kids now are starting to watch and they are coming to watch us film and it's just lovely.
10:51 pm
just don't touch me. i like your top. you're almost as naked as i am. when you're writing the script, you know people want to hear the catchphrases, see the traditional character quirks, so how much of that do you put in? you have to be careful because we never set out to create catchphrases for people, they happened naturally. for example... oh, that's lush! on monday i'm going to be telling somebody else that they look lush. you want to have them present in the script, but you don't want to overdo it because otherwise itjust cheapens it a little bit. it's notjust a best of catchphrases, none of it's forced, it's all very natural and i think it gives the audience everything
10:52 pm
that they want and more. i think there's only two "what's occurring?"s. small? yeah, we've kept it down to a minimum. a minimum occurrence! this is doris's this is glenda who owns gwen's house. how many people do you think have come in your house 28,000 people you've let into the house? yeah. when we first came to film here, these things weren't up the wall. before we used all the sofas that she had, everything, because we didn't have the budget, really. so you really did just use her house?
10:53 pm
yeah, because we didn't have the budget and it felt so authentic. to be honest, this is the first time i've ever been in here when we haven't dressed it and i didn't realise quite... it's a shrine to the show. ..i didn't realise quite how many things glenda had on the wall, bless her. it's kind of lovely, it sort of means so much so many people. you can't really get your head around it. this is where we shot a scene the other day at the top of the stairs, matt and i, which was incredibly tight for space. we always want to try and shoot it in its surroundings. the famous scene gavin and stacey talk about the fact she had been engaged... it was on this very doorstep, right here. ijust spoke to your ex—fiance. oh, my god. how do you think i feel, stace? was it clifford ? no. leyon? no! howell? no, ahmed! but he's moved to swindon! he's down to see his mum! i'd taken six years off work being a mum, i got three children and now i've been away for two weeks filming this and, basically,
10:54 pm
i'm on holiday so i've been in barry, the sun is shining, i've not got any children with me, i'm having a ball. it's an iced oat latte. that sounds horrible. it's incredible. we've just been filming upstairs. it's 101. when people watch this, they'll go, "i remember, that was the hottest day of the year." there's been a lot of cold acting. only when you remember to do it! there's going to be some takes for people are going brrr and other takes where they're, like... you're back here in barry. when you think you have a us talk show, it mustjust blow your mind. yeah, the trick is to try not
10:55 pm
to think about it too much because i think it's quite a dangerous thing to have a rear view mirror and looking at all the things you've done. you've got to be looking at things you're going to do or want to do. i think that's the trick to hold yourself together and not starting to think that you're a bit more of a dude than you really are. anywhere, i don't care. are you sure? i'll sign it, but do not get this tattooed. # 0h, james, we love you! the thing with the show has always been trying to find the extraordinary in the ordinary. that's where the show was born from. something so small, seemingly so small as two people falling in love and choosing to spend the rest of their lives together, has a monumental impact on lots of other people's lives. i think it's so good. i think it gives everyone what they want and there's
10:56 pm
some new things as well. how has uncle bryn changed over the last ten years? if anything, he looks younger. i mean, he's obviously been to a spa in the swiss mountains, colin, and it's treated him well. i like the fact you just use a normal street. yes, but things happen and things have happened. i can't say any more than that. i'm terrified of giving something away! about to shoot rob brydon's last shot, maybe ever. not that he's got some terrible illness. certainly his last of this special, which might be the last time we ever see uncle bryn. what's going to surprise people about this? surprises? there might be a couple. you might find some things out you've been wondering about.
10:57 pm
mostly we want it to be a joyful hour. i think people will like it. i hope so... we're all set and...action! my god! stacey! would you kindly inform everyone that dinner will be ever so slightly delayed ? calm down, bryn. i can't calm down! could this become a regular thing, every ten years, you revisit? that would be a terrible idea. it definitely will not become a thing that happens every decade. i can guarantee you that. don't talk about another ten years. i hope to god not, can you imagine how old we'd all look? no, i hope not! if they do some more, i hope they do it before ten years! does it wrap things up or is there a potential for yet more? this i would love to tell you the answer to that question. but i'd have to kill you. and i don't think that's very christmassy. people might watch this special and be, like, "that was awful.
10:58 pm
"why did you ruin it?" that's the pressure of it. but i'd rather regret doing something than not doing something. they all like each other, our characters, really. they're a really lovely bunch to be around so it will be nice to see them having christmas day again. not a lot of festive cheer from the weather today, and it remained quite grey and murky for many, only the favoured few saw a bit of rightness, but i'm hopeful we will have more tomorrow, and for the rest of the night it stays predominantly cloudy with rain moving over the west and north of scotland, still quite breezy here, with some breaks in the cloud, parts of north—east england may be late in the day down to the south—east, as well, getting a bit chilly here. it is a mild night for most, and as we go into tomorrow we will start again with a lot of cloud
10:59 pm
which is thick enough to produce a bit of drizzle over heels in the west but for the south east and southern and eastern scotland, i'm expecting it to brighten up, at least some sunny spells, and the southern half of the uk, nine — 10 degrees, but for the murray coast of scotla nd degrees, but for the murray coast of scotland for example with some shelter to the north of high ground it could reach 15, pretty exceptional for the it could reach 15, pretty exceptionalfor the time it could reach 15, pretty exceptional for the time of year. the last couple of days of the year will turn a bit cooler in the north but it will stay mostly dry.
11:00 pm
this is bbc news. the headlines at 11:00: recognised in the new year honours list, but the cabinet office apologises, after the home addresses of more than a thousand recipients were accidentally published online. one of the recipients was taekwondo world and double olympic champion jade jones, who was upgraded from an mbe to an obe. i've put my life and everything into taekwondo, so to be recognised at the highest level and to go to the palace again to receive an honours is just amazing. a woman whose husband and two children drowned on christmas eve in a swimming pool in spain says all three could swim and blames
